Guided Volcanoes National Park Hike – Up-Close with Kīlauea
About This Experience
Step into the heart of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park on a guided 3-hour hiking adventure designed to showcase the very best of Kīlauea’s dynamic landscape. This 4-mile afternoon hike is limited to small groups (up to 8 guests), giving you plenty of space and time to fully experience the sights, sounds, and stories of this extraordinary place. For larger parties, additional capacity can be arranged—please call for custom pricing.
As you journey along the trail with one of our expert guides, you’ll:
Feel the heat rising from active steam vents
Walk beneath a lush native rainforest canopy
Stand on the floor of Kīlauea caldera and soak in sweeping crater views
Along the way, your guide will bring the park to life with engaging insight into its geology, ecology, and cultural history—from the forces that built the island to the plant and bird species that call this volcanic landscape home.
This hike is an ideal way to experience the natural beauty of the Big Island, whether you’re a curious first-time visitor or a returning volcano lover looking to see more than just the overlooks.
Please note: Lava visibility is never guaranteed. Lava viewing depends on current activity at Kīlauea and daily weather conditions, but the hike remains a spectacular experience with or without visible lava.
